Shownotes Transcript

We can’t let National Transportation Week pass without revisiting our conversation with Lee Crooks. He’s basically a local celebrity, with a highly-recognizable voice. He’s been announcing stops on the CTA for 25 years.

“It does become something of a legacy,” Crooks said.

In this episode, he talks to host Erin Allen about trains, legacy and Midwest accents. And yes, we have him do the voice.
